PDF Merge, Split & Reorder
Merge PDFs, split by page count or ranges, and reorder, remove, rotate or duplicate pages.
Try an example: Merge two PDFs (6 pages) · Split every 2 pages into a ZIP · Cover page, then all pages in reverse order
How it works
Combines several PDFs into one in the order you choose, splits a PDF every N pages or by page ranges (download as a ZIP), and rearranges pages with a simple page syntax such as "1-3,5,8-end", "odd" or "reverse". Shows page counts before and after and a preview of the first page.
- Every upload is checked by its content (it must start like a PDF) and by qpdf --check. Encrypted PDFs are opened with the password you give (passed to qpdf in a private file, never on a command line) and written without encryption.
- Merge: qpdf copies all pages of each file, in the chosen order, into the first file. Bookmarks and document metadata come from the first file; form fields of all files are kept.
- Split: each part is a separate PDF built from the selected pages; several parts are packed into one ZIP.
- Select/reorder: the page list is taken literally, so "3,1,2" reorders, "1,1,2" duplicates page 1, and "reverse" reverses. Remove keeps every page not listed. Rotate adds the angle to the current rotation of the listed pages (lossless, no re-rendering).
- Page contents are never re-encoded: text, fonts and images stay exactly as they were. qpdf writes a deterministic file ID, so the same input always gives the same file.
Digital signatures in the input become invalid when pages are changed. Keep your originals.
